Gluten-free is still an alien concept to many people including myself. Aside from the obvious -there’s no gluten in the food, I found the whole thing baffling. What’s wrong with gluten in the first place? Without research, it would be convenient to assume that gluten-free is a diet trend for the health-conscious folks, like Atkins (no carbs) or…
How to Make Vegan Pancit Palabok (Newly Improved Recipe) (Gluten-Free)
Undeniably, Pancit is one of the most recognizable Filipino dishes in the US. After all, it’s a savory noodle dish always present at parties and potlucks.

Have you ever received tons of fruit harvests from family and friends?

I would be so delighted when I get them! The only thing is, I…
10 Vegan Filipino Soups and Stews for Fall
To me, fall season is the season for soups and stews. Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved hearty stews. Granted there was no fall season in the Philippines (only summer and winter), stews have been my choice of dish. My stews are now vegan but they are just as hearty and comforting as my childhood…
Low Carb, Low Sugar “Fried Rice”
Every once in a while, I would get requests for low carb recipes. Admittedly, low carb is not my forte. I just need to have my heavy comfort food. But when I visit my parents and plan to cook for them, I realize I do have to mind what I put on my pots and…
8 Lessons Learned from Kitchen Mishaps
They say that in any craft, you have to start somewhere. That even the masters once started as newbies. I’m far from being a master -and that’s okay. Some of my friends say they want to cook but wouldn’t because they’re not good at it. It seem so paradoxical because the only way to be good at…
